Critical Thinking Workflow

7-skill end-to-end process: reframe → surface assumptions → clean reasoning → downstream effects → calibrate confidence → make tradeoffs explicit.

Steps

Step 1 — Question Upgrader

Skill: question-upgrader Goal: Verify we are solving the right problem before investing in an answer Input: Problem as currently framed Output: Upgraded question(s), named framing weakness, hidden assumption in the question, the question being avoided Skip if: Framing has already been challenged and a better question is agreed on

"Step 1 시작" or "질문부터 업그레이드해줘"

---

Step 2 — Assumption Extractor

Skill: assumption-extractor Goal: Surface factual, causal, value, and definitional assumptions the argument rests on Input: Upgraded framing from Step 1 Output: Assumption map across four categories (load-bearing / significant / peripheral); most dangerous assumption named Skip if: Assumptions have already been explicitly stress-tested

"Step 2 시작" or "숨겨진 전제 찾아줘"

---

Step 3a + 3b — Fallacy Detector + Bias Auditor (parallel)

Skills: fallacy-detector and bias-auditor Goal: Check that the argument structure is sound (3a) and the judgment is free of cognitive distortion (3b) Input: Core argument and rationale from Step 2 Output 3a: Named fallacies with location in argument; narrative fallacy assessment; worst structural error Output 3b: Active biases across three layers; primary bias and what it distorts Skip 3a if: The analysis is a plan with no explicit reasoning chains to evaluate Skip 3b if: No expressed confidence or judgment calls are present

"Step 3 시작" or "논리 오류랑 편향 같이 봐줘"
